These are a few of my favourite things. All of them, in fact <3

So I left a really convoluted and confused message in my "likes and dislikes" box, and expected I might well receive something matching one of the things I mentioned I liked. Instead, I received a number of gifts covering all of my likes (and more!), all expertly wrapped. I love all of them. "G" is an amazing stalker and wonderful secret santa. Thank you so much for putting so much effort and attention into this! Everything is so, so perfect!

UPDATE: Turns out the pillow is an even more awesome gift than I realised, further explanation on the picture itself.

I was pleasantly surprised when I saw my secret santa had shipped two packages, but massively shocked when I got home from work to find two huge, wrapped boxes :D

...With more immaculate wrapping and gift tags inside! I noticed one of the gifts told me to open it immediately, and briefly considered that maybe that meant I should leave the others until Christmas. Obviously that didn't happen. I am not super human.

I love marzipan, so this Stollen is going to be amazing. And chocolates are, of course, always massively appreciated.

These miniatures represent some incredible stalking. Zubrowka (Bison) vodka with apple juice is pretty popular back home in Scotland, but I've only seen it once or twice since moving South.

Dreamcast > all. Enough said.

I suspect this weekend might involve a classic Sci-fi marathon :D

Okay, let's! There was also a really lovely and thoughtful letter from my anonymous santa inside.

Oooh, secrets. The flash pen was a virtual mix-tape of music and tv recommendations. Great to see some Mogwai on there!

Soft and cuddly things, amazing :D

UPDATE: So, as my Santa pointed out on Reddit itself, the pillow is actually Bioshock themed. I can't unsee the Big Daddy face now! This is an even cleverer gift than it might seem, because it was based on a picture I posted to twitter a few weeks ago of my Bioshock themed halloween costume. So amazed.

The most glamorous robot I have ever seen, sitting happily on my desk at work.
